Montgomery was one of the few conference or divisional rival’s coach that I respected. He conducted himself well in the series last year against the Blues and doesnt have an annoying looking face. It’s a big deal for a head coach (especially in the playoffs) because the camera always cuts to them lol.

Oh c'mon, the beer joke is funny. Stop being a bunch of Nancys.
As someone who has a history of substance abuse (mainly rum), it's not funny at all. It's childish and absolutely uncalled for. You should never make fun of people for their past vices, especially if it was something like drugs or alcohol.

I'm not going any further into this conversation with you. I'm not going into my past vices any further so that you and other people can make fun of or degrade me.
Maybe you aren't fine if you get offended by it. Generally knowing how much drink fest this Blues board is it makes it even more mind-boggling get mad about it.

In my part this OT talk can end here.

Only coffee/tea drinking now.

Are you f***ing kidding me dude? No, I'm not f***ing fine with it. I've been dealing with depression for about 5 years and I used alcohol as a medicine due to the stigma depression, and other issues which I will not speak of, gets in the military. I stopped drinking heavily about a year ago. And just because there are a bunch of people on this board that drink doesn't mean everyone is the same. Grow the f*** up.

Sorry to hear about it. I wish you all the best for the recovery, its long journey and I hope you get best peer support. Alcohol is serious illness. I feel and understand you man.

Blues PP is NHL second worst with 5.6%, only Anaheim behind us 0% at PP.

I know it early, but we were last season NHL top 3 at PP. :dunno:

Do we blame players? Or system? Army has acquire 3 PP specialist and they all have sucked, Faulk, Krug and Hoffman.

I'm not gonna say Pie.. and his stats, but there might lie truth. If your PP work, dont try to add/fix it from other squad PP specialist, it doesnt give you success.

Shot in the dark but if they’re all the same kind of PP Specialist then what type of player are we missing to make them work

Listening to the play by play the other night Panger was saying Perron had mentioned some adjustments needing to occur from having a RH PPQB in Petro to having a LH PPQB in Krug. I'd infer passes occur when a shot was previously taken, shots are taken when passes were previously due to body mechanics and positioning of Krug vs Petro standing in the same spot.

Hoffman is obviously a new wrinkle because he is most definitely not Tarasenko and can't be used the same way on the PP. If memory serves, his PP production involved a decent number of one timers - which our PP hasn't been able to utilize effectively for years (lacking effective personnel). Perron on PP1 takes that role, so Hoffman is trying to adjust to new systems and roles maybe?

Faulk wasn't ever deployed in a PP specialist role here, so your complaint is kind of pointless...

Give it another handful of games. They didn't get preseason games to work kinks out and the compressed schedule isn't giving a normal amount of practices to dedicate to improving the problem either.
